(Ghost in the Shell)
Firstly, this extract contains a significant amount of dominant representations because it follows the typical narrative of a sci-fi film. The first noteworthy dominant representation was that the antagonists of the movie were foreigners. This is a conventional prospect of this genre of film. To continue, the robot is unable to express feelings or emotion which are innate to human beings. However, this mechanical character is enticed by any emotions and subsequently triggers her longing to remember her past human self. An alternative representation would be her having a black lesbian lover and the fact that she is portrayed as a female protagonist. To culminate, her rebellious attitude and skill of transforming from a subservient robot into a incompetent robot, is again quite an dominant representation of mechanical characters such as robots.
